Twins acquire Anthony Banda from Dodgers

  1. Banda is set to earn only $1.625m this year and has two seasons of control. Twins only gave up some international bonus space.

    Good move.

  2. For me this falls into the category of:

    Makes sense for a playoff fringe team, less so for a rebuilding team

    A la Bell and Caratini

    He *should* be LHP 1. Its a decent pick up

  3. Really nice pick up. Low salary and no assets (other than some excess international salary).

  4. Imagine waking up and being told you’re being traded from one of the best baseball teams ever created to the a team that’s stretch goal is being .500 this season

  5. I’ll have to judge the seriousness of this pickup by whether Gleeman & Bonnes use the “It’s an Emergency” or the “There’s no Emergency” intro. Seems like at least a solid get though.

  6. Haha hey I have this guy’s rookie auto. Never thought it would be relevant to anyone, let alone my own team

  7. I can’t wait to enjoy a warm summer nights blowout loss, a steaming plastic bottle of Pepsi, and the chicken fried song
